Subject: Copying music for auditions

Hi List,

I am wondering what opinions there are out there about making a photocopy of
music for audition sake. For example, I own a book of music and would like
to give a copy of the sheet music to the accompanist for ease of play. I
have always done this, and never thought a thing of it, but recently another
singer expressed disdain that I was copying copyrighted music - even for
personal use. It had never occurred to me this might be ANY kind of a
problem. Is she overly sensitive or have I had my head stuck in the sand
all these years?

What do you think?

Thanks,
Jessica
